                                                    Memorial, Sanctuary, Building and General Fund Gifts to Unity

                                                    Gifts to Unity Evangelical Lutheran Church individual Funds can accomplish multiple goals. 
                                                    They can celebrate a personal milestone, honor or commemorate a loved one or friend — 
                                                    and further Unity's mission to be 
                                                    an urban green space, welcoming everyone into a holy encounter where we are changed, 
                                                    that all may be fed as Jesus feeds us.

                                                    Just as we have many ongoing initiatives for accomplishing our mission, there are
                                                    several different Funds that your gift can support:


                                                    Memorial Fund
                                                    Gifts to the Memorial Fund are typically made to commemorate a loved one or friend.
                                                    We appreciate un-designated or general memorial gifts that the Unity can best use for
                                                    the ongoing needs our ministry. If you have particular items or projects in mind to be
                                                    dedicated, please share you thoughts with Pastor Kinsey.


                                                    Sanctuary Fund
                                                    For nearly 100 years, Unity has opened its doors to the community for worship and
                                                    community space sharing to the glory of God. Our sanctuary, though beautiful, is aging,
                                                    and we seek to be good stewards of both ornament and structure. Presently we are
                                                    asking for donations for the renovation of our sanctuary and its painting, a project that
                                                    began with our entryway. The goal is $8,000. Donations to the Sanctuary Fund can
                                                    memorialize or honor a loved one or friend, or they can be stand-alone gifts that help
                                                    keep us viable today and ready to meet the future.


                                                    Unity Building Fund
                                                    The Unity Building Fund was established to build up principal that can be drawn from
                                                    during the year as unforeseen building repairs arise. We appreciate those gifts that
                                                    anticipate and prepare for the continued regular needs of our building. Donations to the
                                                    Unity Building Fund can memorialize or honor a loved one or friend, or they can be
                                                    stand-alone gifts that help us to remain focused on our mission.
